This gorgeous property, set on the cliff tops just a mile from the centre of Whitby, is the ideal romantic hideaway for couples who can''t bear to leave their canine companion behind. Sleeping you both in a pretty king-size bedroom, this spacious apartment is an opportunity to explore the rich history of Whitby and the stunning surrounding area. Go for walkies on dog-friendly Tate Hill Beach before wandering the ruins of imposing Whitby Abbey (both 1 mile).
The apartment, which lies on the second floor of a former grand hotel, is light and airy thanks to high ceilings. Relax on the sofa in the lounge, gazing out at the sea views through the door to the balcony, or head out there with your coffee to see if you can hear the waves. Enjoy romantic evenings in, preparing meals in the compact kitchen, then dine at the table in the lounge as puppy dog eyes look out for crumbs. When it''s time for bed, snuggle between the sheets in the beautiful bedroom with rich, indulgent tones in the furnishings. In the morning, throw open the door to the balcony to wake up gently. Enjoy an invigorating shower or unwind with a bath in the bright and airy bathroom.
Head off down the Cinder Track (1 mile), a disused railway line to Scarborough, for traffic-free walkies; turn around at Hawsker, Ravenscar or Hayburn Wyke if you don''t fancy walking the whole thing. Dogs can join you on the North York Moors Railway (1 mile), as well as the aptly named Bark Endeavour (0.5 miles), the authentic replica of Captain Cook''s HMS Endeavour. Hire a pleasure boat and take a trip down to Ruswarp (2 miles), or head up to Staithes (9.5 miles) where a famous pub welcomes your dog to join you.
